Asparagus Corn Quiches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place asparagus in a steamer over 1 inch of boiling water, and cover. Cook until tender but still firm, about 2 to 6 minutes. Drain and cool.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Brush pie shells with beaten egg white. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped asparagus into pie shells.
• In a bowl, beat together eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over bacon and asparagus. Pour egg mixture on top of cheese.
• Bake uncovered in preheated oven until firm, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• Line eight 10cm/4" quiche pans with pastry.
• Cook the bacon, onion and garlic in a non-stick pan for 2-3 minutes; add the parsley and the lemon zest, rosemary, sage and thyme (if using); allow the mixture to cool slightly before spooning it into the pastry cases.
• Evenly divide the drained cans of Asparagus Tips and Corn Kernels into the pastry cases; combine the eggs and cream and pour the mixture over the asparagus and sprinkle with grated tasty cheese.
• Bake the quiches in a preheated oven at 200°C/400°F/6 gas mark for 20 minutes.
• NOTE: You can opt for making a single quiche rather than individual quiches, in which case the quiche should be cooked for 30 minutes or until the quiche has set.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Break off and discard woody ends of asparagus and place asparagus on the baking sheet. Drizzle on 1 tablespoon of the oil, add salt and pepper to taste and toss together with your hands until asparagus is thoroughly coated with oil. Place in oven and roast 12 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned in spots, turning asparagus halfway through. Remove asparagus from the oven and allow to cool until you can handle it. Slice into 1/2 to 3/4-inch pieces and place in a medium bowl.
• Turn oven down to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat and add scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Transfer to bowl with asparagus. Add tarragon and parsley and toss together.
• Beat together egg yolks and eggs in a medium bowl. Set tart pan on a baking sheet to allow for easy handling. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the bottom of the crust with some of the beaten egg and place in oven for 5 minutes.
• Add salt (I use 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, and milk to remaining eggs and whisk together.
• Spread scallion and asparagus mixture in an even layer in the crust. Stir together cheeses and sprinkle evenly on top. Very slowly pour in egg custard over the filling. If your tart pan has low edges, you may not need all of it to fill the shell, and you want to keep the custard from spilling over. Place quiche, on baking sheet, in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and just beginning to color on the top. Remove from oven and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

Steps:

Set aside three spears for garnish; cut the remaining asparagus into 1/2-in. pieces. Combine the asparagus pieces and onions; add flour and toss. Pour into crust; sprinkle with cheese. Whisk together eggs, cream, salt, basil and cayenne; pour over asparagus mixture. , Bake at 325° for 25 minutes. Split the reserved asparagus spears lengthwise and arrange, cut side down, in a wheel pattern on top of filling. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
